City Planner Kelley reviewed his staff report provided in the packet noting the plat vacated a
property line which bisected a building making it a non -conforming use which resolved by the
vacation. He recommended approval with the following conditions:
• Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State, and local
regulations;
• Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the property owner must vacate the utility
easement located beneath the theater building and submit an application with Homer
Electric Association, Inc., to re-route the electrical cable;

of the plat.

Aviation Apron No. 1, according to Amended Plat No. 2004-20.
City Planner Kelley noted the terms had been renegotiated since the previous approval in August
and due to there being no reinvestment into the property, could only be renewed for five years.
The new term negotiated was to renew for one year with the option for four additional years with
the thought that the new policies and code would be implemented and would allow for different
negotiating terms.
MOTION:
Commissioner Fikes MOVED to recommend approval of Consent to Second Amendment of
Lease of Certain Airport Lands within the Airport Reserve between the City of Kenai, Lessor and

SECONDED the motion.
It was clarified that the President of SOAR felt it was more advantageous TO enter into the one-
year extension with the opportunity for an additional four years due to its lease rate and the
upcoming leasing changes.
